My Boss, My Husband Chapter 77
Yes, we were escorted out of the club by staff and security. As they closed the gate behind us, our proud faces gave way to fear.“Why did that woman just threaten to kill you?” Jenna asked, trembling.She wasn’t the only one trembling.“The worst part is… I don’t know,” I answered, just as shaky as she was.-The shaking eventually stopped during our silent taxi ride home. It was a trip full of questions, none of which had answers. When we reached Jenna’s apartment, I asked the driver to take me to the source of the problem instead of dropping me off at my place.Lucius Brown.That’s why I was standing at the door of his apartment, ringing the bell, waiting for him to answer. The door opened quickly, but it wasn’t him—it was a woman in a uniform, someone who probably worked for him.“Miss Marianne, please come in. The mister is in the shower,” she informed me.I walked into the apartment and saw she wasn’t the only one. Two other women were cleaning—one vacuuming under the fu

He said nothing.“So, did you break up with her? Or is that why she made a scene?” I demanded.Still no answer. My frustration boiled over, and I marched into the shower, opening the glass door. Water splashed onto my face and clothes, but he didn’t even flinch. So I made the first move—I stepped into the shower and grabbed his shoulder, forcing him to turn around.Big mistake.Lucius spun, but not to answer me. Instead, he pushed me against the shower wall, holding me by the waist and neck, pulling me under the hot water. In seconds, I was drenched, trapped in his arms, and his lips were on mine.He kissed me deeply, possessively, his hands gripping my backside. I tried to push him away, but it was useless. I couldn’t match his strength. Worse, I couldn’t resist the effect he had on my body. Admitting that my so-called immunity was a lie, I let my own desire take over.He slid off my jacket, leaving my wine-stained blouse soaked and my bra fully visible. He wasn’t satisfied with

After receiving a death threat, I couldn't go back to normal life. In my paranoid state, I hadn’t slept at all last night. I even pushed a table in front of my door and kept all the lights off throughout the night.Another sign of my paranoia was that I took a taxi to the office today, and now I was sitting in one of the video conference booths. I was chatting with an old client of Fairmount Corporation about the property taxes on one of the retirement homes he’d bought from us."Sorry to take up your time, Marianne. But you're the only one with enough patience for me," said Mr. Angus, who was old enough to be my grandfather."Don't worry about it. We’re here to help. I’ll send you Ariana's number; she can guide you better with the tax paperwork. Any other questions?""Not for now, but can I call you if I have more?""Send me a message, and we’ll sort it out—just like we always do at Fairmount Corporation. Take care," I said as I ended the call.And just like that, my customer-se

"Don’t tell me it’s normal for an ex, or whatever she was, to threaten to kill you, corner you in a bathroom with two thugs, and have those same guys rough up your friend. I wasn’t the only one hurt—Jenna got manhandled too. Don’t try to manipulate me into thinking this was nothing. I’m done with that crap."I was angry—furious—with Lucius’s attitude. And the worst part was, I had been here before. I had just gotten out of a relationship where my ex constantly made me feel like I was overreacting, like I was the problem in every fight. I wasn’t going back to that."Oh, so now you’re showing your claws to the guy who’s been defending you all along," he said sarcastically, clearly annoyed."Now you’re upset?" I scoffed."I’m not upset. I’m fed up with you. What do you want me to do? You think I planned for you and Jenna to get hurt? Angie is part of a past I’m trying to leave behind. You, of all people, should understand wanting to escape the past.""Then why didn’t you answer my ca

"Are you talking about feelings? Because I never guaranteed you those. The only thing I guaranteed you were facts. You and I made a deal that you can’t back out of now," he demanded.I shrugged, just to push his buttons even more."And what if I don’t go through with it? You gonna threaten me like Mrs. Kramer did?" I took a step closer."I should spank you good and proper so you understand what being really at risk means," he stepped closer."As if I haven’t already been… because of you," I took another step, practically in his face."As if you haven’t already been because of your family," he took one more step, and now we were practically glued together.Our breathing mixed, and I could feel the heat radiating from his body. I should have been angry for what he’d done to me, but honestly, I didn’t know whether to be furious or completely turned on, because both feelings were there. Memories flooded my mind—his fingers between my legs yesterday, his seed on my stomach."You had plenty

I controlled my breathing and kept my neck still. I couldn’t be too obvious about how I was feeling inside. I couldn’t let anyone see the bubbling nerves dominating me at that moment. Why was I nervous? Because I was watching the giant gates of the infamous Brown mansion open as I sat in the back seat next to Lucius.The weekend had come faster than I expected, and the ease of having money sped things up even more. Flying across an ocean felt like a quick trip to the beach. I had kept up my "angry and distant" attitude all week, even during the plane ride. I must have been the most boring travel companion Lucius had ever had, but I didn’t regret it.The only thing I was starting to regret was coming there. The farther we drove, the deeper we went into the forest, and the clearer it became that this house looked like something out of a history book.This wasn’t just any mansion. The towers, the grand staircase, the endless windows, and the swarm of staff working in the gardens were o

"No thanks, I’ll keep my distance. That’ll be enough," I said, feeling uncomfortable.The car stopped, and a staff member opened my door. He was an older man, dressed in uniform, and I could see the surprise on his face when he spotted me in the car."Lucius, I wasn’t aware you’d be bringing company this time..." the man greeted him."You know me, Gregor. I like surprises," Lucius replied. "Want a bigger one?""If that’s your will, it’s my duty to accept it," Gregor answered with a tired tone that I found amusing. "Take the luggage inside, and inform them of the young lady’s presence so they can prepare her room," Gregor instructed a couple of younger workers who quickly got to it. Lucius and I stepped out of the car."There’s no need to prepare another room. She’ll be staying in mine," Lucius added.Everyone froze, including Gregor. It felt like Lucius had just told them we’d be having sex every night, out in the open. I cleared my throat and casually brought my hand to my m

I was used to not being the beloved girlfriend families hoped for. Andrew’s family had tolerated me for the sake of appearances and business, as I had realized after we broke up. And now, it seemed like the Browns would be yet another lesson that destiny had in store for me. That same destiny that clearly didn’t like me, considering all that kept happening."Could you change those shocked faces to more welcoming ones, Lucia and Clara?" Lucius asked playfully."Don’t take it the wrong way, our reactions are just from the surprise… at how soon you’re getting married because… well… um…" responded the one I now realized was Lucia, the soft-voiced woman."It’s reckless from any angle, Lucius," the other woman, Clara, chimed in.That’s when I remembered where I’d heard her voice before—she was the one who mocked me when I mentioned my relationship with the man standing next to me: Clara, Lionel’s wife. The one Lucius had some sort of issue with."That’s what you say, but you don’t know
